Question

Which of the following sets of numbers could represent the three sides of a triangle? O {11, 17, 26} O {8,10,19} Submit Answer O {13, 22, 37} O {8, 11, 20}​

Answer 1

Answer:

O {11, 17, 26}

Explanation:

Only  {11, 17, 26} can represent the sides of a triangle.

One very important rule to take note of is that:

        The value of any side of triangle is greater than the difference between any two sides and less than the sum of the two sides.

            {11, 17, 26}

So;

         lets assume the third side = y = 26

       17 - 11 < y < 17 + 11

          6 < y < 28

Since y is between 6 and 28, it satisfies the expression and it is true.
